Can’t get around the fact that The Deep is a self absorbed jerk and rapist. He has no likable qualities. Maeve is much more interesting and far less whiny.
True, but Maeve has also compromised herself. While her eventual fate might be a tragedy. The Deep’s is a comedy. That makes me sympathise more with Maeve but be entertained more by the Deep.
nm skip it
I actually really like his character, especially in season 2, but I can’t overlook the whole rapist part just because he’s funny now. I wish they hadn’t included that in the first season. Make him a jerk by doing something else.
That would have helped a lot. I doubt it was his first time either.
(I fixed your broken quote)
The true nature of The Deep was revealed at the beginning. If they want to redeem him it will take a lot more than they’ve done. They’re better off having him betray the good guys in the end.
The Deep is a bad person, but that doesn’t mean he’s not fun to watch.
That’s my point. We can take pleasure in his constant frustration. I’m not looking for his redemption, just his entertainment value.
The showunner said the opposite in an interview with Andy Greenwald on the Watch podcast. He said he wasn’t sure if we’d see her again or not, but that she’s in a secure prison (hopefully more secure than the others we’ve seen, LOL).
Yeah, I think we have to chalk up his introduction to “pilot syndrome” (for the same reason I’ve argued Saul on Breaking Bad can’t be held to some of the things he said in his first appearance). If we’re sticklers about it, that was pretty unforgivable, but they have definitely gone in a different direction with his character since then.
Oops.
I have to admit being slightly amused by Stormfront’s annoyance that everybody was being, like, totally uncool about the, like, Nazi stuff and should, like, give it a rest, already. It reminded me of some moments on Agents of SHIELD when a HYDRA member starting getting defensive about their organization’s historical Nazi ties.

Yeah, I know. Because like three people posted it earlier and I already responded to it.
Secondly, I may whip up a post about how much I loathe that kind of storytelling. I should not have to chase after some third party source to find out stuff not in the primary medium.
It is in the primary medium. Homelander specifically said she was being held in a secure location.
The show gives us good reason to believe that was a lie, however.
Upstate farm, eh?
Why? She was talking the last we saw her. She wasn’t shown to be bleeding out.
We didn’t see her die, and Homelander said she was alive. The behind the scenes comment only verified what we know from actually watching the show.
Come on, they obviously left it up in the air in case they ever needed her again. She’s either dead or alive depending entirely on what the plot needs. She’s Schrodingers Nazi.
She’s romping in the clover with Lamplighter and Popclaw.
I hope they say hello to the ducklings my parents gave me for Easter when I was five.
You had the important parts, but the internet never rests! Just for the sake of completeness, what Stormfront says is:
“It was so beautiful, how the three of us sat there in the shade of an apple tree. Do you remember the day Frederick? Chloe’s arms out of the car window. We found the perfect spot by the river, in the shade of an apple tree. It was the first time Chloe ate fresh apples.”
“Was so happy. It was so wonderful. I wanted it to never end.”
Unfortunately we live in an age where too many people need to be reminded that the Nazis were unambiguously the bad guys.
